'In the summer of her eighteenth birthday, Lisa Jordan takes to the road in Finwood, a mint-green 1960s Valiant, looking for freedom and a few answers. Independent and headstrong, Lisa is determined to find her own place in the world. Through notebooks and filmscripts, interviews and letters, Lisa and her boyfriend Tom tell the stories of their epic journey, from Melbourne to Surfers Paradise - from the Summerland Motor Inn to the Perpetual Cafe and beyond.'
